Kayla's little man, Xander! He truly loves water and didn't even flinch at the coldness.

It was a lot of fun and we all went home with red shoulders even though we were sun blocked!

I've been Tagged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been tagged by Diane! :)

The Rules:

  • 1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
  • 2. People that are tagged write a blog post about their own 8 random things and post these rules.
  • 3. At the end of your post tag 8 people and include their names.Don't forget to leave them a comment on their blog to tell them they've been tagged, and to comment back and read your blog for the whole story.

  1. I love sports! Lately I haven't been involved myself, but I use to play co-ed softball and it would boost my ego when I was just visiting and wanting to play and the teams would argue which team I would be on. Now, I love supporting my boys in baseball and football. And my daughter in tennis.
  2. This Mother's Day I received a lot of notes and letters from children and the main point from them was "Mom, you rock!" So, I guess I am a rockin mom!
  3. Although I have some weight to lose, I love working out! I always challenge my 11 year old son with "suicide crunches". That is where you count 1, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, ....all the way to 20. We just started doing that.
  4. My favorite thing to do for relaxing...with a friend or by myself, is getting a gelato and eating it while I get a pedicure.
  5. I love dating my husband! It's been 12 1/2 years!!
  6. I love to shop! I wouldn't know what to do if Ebay shut down!
  7. I have learned so many things through some tough experiences.... So many blessings have sprouted from them. For example, losing our home of 8 years to a fire, we are happier than ever now, in our new home and community. And, the loss of my second child, I feel that I have a greater bond with my children because they are truly gifts from above. Also, I've learned that I don't cry during tragic events, rather, I breakdown when I have a moment to myself and then thank my Heavenly Father for his comfort. I know I have a great family and friends around me that support me, so I move on...................
  8. I love that every day I can choose the mood of my day! ( even when my two young tornadoes hit! )( I am learning to move past the angry moments. Yes, I am human and still get PMS moments) :) I love hanging out with great friends at the park and letting our children play.(relief!!) I would do that everyday!!!!!!

Now, I Tag!!! The eight lucky people are: Sandi, Shawnie, Natalie M., Kayla, Kenyon, Libby, Echelle, and Lindsey

2008
Westin loves Pirates!! I did make him a pirate ship cake, just not this one. And we ate at Pirate fish and chips on Lindsey/University where he got a little black pouch with a gold coin. We made eye patches and had a blast!! It was just the family, small and simple. I thought that Corey had a baseball game that night so, I didn't plan anything, turned out that he didn't and it was the next day... oh well. UUURRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Mate!

My Goodness!!!!!!!!

I thought that I would check in....I actually added to my Krazy schedule! I joined bootcamp..again! I did it last year and I really enjoyed it, I have new and bigger goals this year so, I am back to work!! I go every morning @ 5:30 for an hour. I am sore and full of energy afterwards! I love it! (first week, I lost 4 lbs! )

I have been watching what I eat and drinking my MonaVie! I have a hard time consuming ALL of the right portions of my fruits and Vegetables, MonaVie helps me get ALL of my fruits in and then I eat my protein and two cups of Veggies. If I make a salad I still eat protein and two cups of veggies on top!!
Check out MonaVie
or you can watch a video of their story, click here.
I am a distributor, so if you have any questions I would be delighted to answer them.
So, this has been my latest adventure and I feel great!!

Happy Easter!!

Where is the time going!? Jason and I took our kids and some friends to our family cabin for Easter. There was snow and we really enjoyed it! The ladies enjoyed the relaxation while the guys enjoyed the attempts to fish and go shooting. We hid easter baskets and easter eggs on Sat. and played card games. On Sunday we went to a local ward for sacrament and then back to the cabin. We made homemade pizza before we cleaned up and left to head back home. It was a nice short and sweet vacation.

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Don't forget the green!! You gotta have green eggs and ham, green milk, and of course green pancakes! It's spring break for my children and it's party time!!! We get to have a party cleaning house and spending time together. March is loaded with birthdays and it's just a big party month for us. Yesterday was my sisters 20th birthday and we had a traditional St. Patty's Dinner and texas sheet cake. Saturday my mom took my sisters and I out to breakfast for our birthday's. 3 out of 4 of us girls were born in March. We had a great time and ate a lot of Excellent food! Well, have a great St.Patrick's Day and don't get PINCHED! :)

St. Louis


Jason and I had a an amazing trip! St. Louis was beautiful and our hotel was amazing..The Millennium (above). Our business convention was fabulous and motivational! We saw some wonderful people get recognized for some goals that we want to achieve as well. I am excited for our future with our family and it has already begun!! We have accomplished some dreams and we have a lot more to do!!! Amber wants to go shopping at Mall of America and I want to go to the LA Mart. We are going to plan a fun trip where we will fly and play at MofA for a few days and from there fly over to L.A. and play for a few days, then fly home. That is our goal. Well, we have many goals and we are excited.... we want all of our family and friends to go with us, wouldn't that be fun?!!
Well, we wish you were all in St. Louis with us, it was great!!
